。 Ye Chen entered the Earth Flame Mountain and came to the second floor of the Earth Flame Mountain Cave.

The fire aura on the second floor of Earth Flame Mountain was stronger than that on the first floor of Earth Flame Mountain, and he was familiar with the road, ready to find a quiet place here suitable for retreat and cultivation.

The second floor of the Earth Flame Mountain Cave has a radius of hundreds of miles, and many places have been explored by treasure hunters, but there are still a few remaining demon beasts that have not been completely eradicated. Not all places are clean and peaceful, and if a few demon beasts run out during the retreat and get frightened, it is not appropriate.

However, Ye Chen knew that there was a very safe place.

He went to the second floor of the Fire Raven Hill and prepared to retreat in the cave of the Fire Raven Mountain.

This Fire Raven Mountain has been completely wiped out by the Fire Worship Gate and a large group of treasure hunters, and there will not be even a low-level demon beast left. Moreover, they are all natural caves, very deep, which is more convenient than digging a stone chamber for retreat by himself.

When Ye Chen came to Fire Raven Mountain, he saw more than ten Qi Refining Stage disciples of the Tianxu Sect, driving a group of nearly a thousand ragged mine slaves to the vicinity of Fire Raven Mountain.

"I've seen Uncle Ye!"

When the disciples of the Heavenly Void Sect saw Ye Chen, they all saluted respectfully. There are a lot of second-generation cultivators in the Tianxu Sect, and they may not know the ordinary foundation building monks, but they definitely know Ye Chen, and most of the disciples in the Qi refining period have great respect for this top of the Immortal Sect Great Examination.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but stop, frowning.

"Uncle Yuye, these are mining slaves captured from Xingnan Kingdom. The disciples explored this area and found that there were natural high-quality igneous stone ore tunnels here, which could be directly excavated, so the disciples brought these miners and prepared to mine the stones here! This is only a small batch of miners who came first, and tens of thousands of miners will be arranged to come in to mine later. ”

A leading late-stage Qi refining disciple hurriedly explained.

Ye Chen was not interested in their mining, and said, "I am going to retreat and cultivate here for a long time, and there should be no movement within a radius of a few miles. There are so many places that can mine in Earth Flame Mountain, so you can mine in another place! In addition, you tell other Qi Refining Stage disciples. Do not move around this mountain. ”

This small group of Qi Refining Stage cultivators glanced at each other, not daring to object. Nodded hurriedly. "Yes! We'll go somewhere else right away. ”

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned around and entered the cave of Fire Raven Mountain. Prepare for the retreat.

These more than ten Qi Refining Stage cultivators were holding thousands of mine slaves. Go somewhere else.

After walking a short distance, they met another second-generation foundation building monk from the Tianxu Sect, and they came head-on.

"Uncle Feng!"

These more than ten Qi Refining Stage cultivators hurriedly bowed down and got out of the way, feeling a little in awe of this somewhat thin young monk. This monk was none other than Feng Zhongjie, a descendant of Elder Jin Dan, who used to be the head of the Miscellaneous Servant Hall and assigned tasks to low-level disciples. Most of these low-level disciples knew Feng Zhongjie.

As a disciple of the third generation of the Immortal Sect's low-level Qi refining period. One thing that was very depressing was that no matter which second-generation monk you met, you had to stop and give respects, and you had to get out of the way when you met on the way. However, there are many second-generation monks of the Tianxu Sect, and it is easy to encounter low-level monks.

In contrast, the Monk of the Foundation was much higher and more at ease. The number of Jindan monks in the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate is very small, and they don't go out often. The second generation of disciples rarely encounters the first generation of Jindan monks, and they do not need to bow down frequently.

Feng Zhongjie has already stepped down from the Immortal Gate Miscellaneous Service Palace, this time he followed the head of Wang and several Jindan elders to this Earth Flame Mountain Spirit Land, preside over some trivial affairs of Earth Flame Mountain, arrange mining for mine slaves, and so on.

Don't look at things trivial, it's a fat difference, it's easy to get oil and water.

Feng Zhongjie casually asked them a few words, and heard them say that Ye Chen was in retreat in the Fire Raven Mountain in front of them, and asked them to change places to mine.

Feng Zhongjie couldn't help frowning, and snorted coldly, "Why are you so afraid of him?!" He closes his pass, and you dig your mines, and you don't get in the way of his business! When you go back to mine, just say that I, Feng Zhongjie, said that I am mining in that mountain! If he thinks your mining is too noisy, let him make room! Good mine, why does he occupy it and not let him dig it!"...,

"This Uncle Feng, you are the principal. But Uncle Ye is also a personal disciple of the head of the Wang Sect, and sooner or later he will become a high-level member of the Tianxu Sect in the future. The disciples didn't dare to provoke him! Let's change the place, anyway, this place in the Flame Mountain is very large, and there are many places to dig. ”

These Qi refining period disciples showed embarrassment one by one, and they didn't dare to take the mine slaves back to mine.

Feng Zhongjie is a second-generation monk, a descendant of Elder Jindan, and he can't be offended. But Ye Chen is also a second-generation monk, the top of the Xianmen big exam, and the personal disciple of the head of the Wang, he is not easy to mess with, and his status is not much worse than Feng Zhongjie.

In terms of the potential of cultivating immortals, Ye Chen is much higher than Feng Zhongjie, Ye Chen is the top of the Immortal Gate Examination, and Feng Zhongjie is not the top of the list. These low-level disciples could see it very clearly.

If you offend Ye Chen, you will have small shoes to wear in the future.

"Hmph, just by him, he also wants to become the high-level of Tianxumen?! If others don't know, I won't know about him. Although he has become a nominal disciple of the head of the Wang Sect, he has a gap with the head of the sect and has not become a monk of the Wang faction, how can he become a high-level member of the Xianmen in the future? ! It is already a fluke that he can become a foundation building monk, don't want to become a Jindan monk in this life!"

Feng Zhongjie said disdainfully.

"Uncle Ye completed the foundation building before he was twenty years old, and he still has hundreds of years of cultivation, how can he not become a Jindan monk?!"

The Qi Refining Stage disciple wondered.

Monk Jindan is the true high-level of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, and he directly obeys the Immortal Sect Ancestor Patriarch. It doesn't matter whether Ye Chen is in charge of the faction or not. Even if Ye Chen was not a member of the royal family, as long as he became a Jindan monk, he would undoubtedly be a high-level.

"Haha, what a joke, it's not easy to become a Jindan monk! First, you need abundant financial resources. From the first floor of the foundation building period to the ninth layer of the foundation building period, at least one million spirit stones were consumed to buy the Yuan Qi Pill. In addition, hundreds of thousands of financial resources are also needed to cultivate their own combat skills and spells, and to purchase various magic weapons, otherwise it is not enough to have cultivation but no combat power. In the end, you have to find a way to get a valuable gold pill.

Second, you need to consume the shortest lifespan to rush the Jindan period. The sooner you reach the golden pill stage within 100 years, the better, so that the higher the return in the future. If you want to cultivate to the Jindan stage within a hundred years, you must devote most of your time to cultivation.

However, earning financial resources and cultivating quickly cannot be achieved at the same time. If he was fully immersed in cultivation, he would not be able to spare enough time to earn spirit stones. If he spent a lot of time earning spirit stones, it would be difficult for him to have enough time to cultivate, and it would be difficult for him to form a golden pill within a hundred years.

The Jindan monks in my Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, which one does not need to rely on the support of the family and faction to concentrate a large amount of resources on one person, this has the greatest chance to impact the Jindan in a short period of time. After Yudan. Reward the family and faction.

Ye Chen had neither a family backer nor an Immortal Sect faction to provide spirit stone resources, so he had to spend a lot of time earning spirit stones. So. He can still rush to Jindan. Become a high-level person?!Dream!What are you afraid of him doing!"

Feng Zhongjie couldn't help laughing and said with disdain. Encourage these Qi Refining Stage disciples to go back.

"It's really hard!"

"But. Uncle Ye discovered Earth Flame Mountain this time and received a huge reward from the Immortal Gate. I don't know how much the head of the family has rewarded him! Maybe he has this large amount of financial resources and has the opportunity to rush to the ninth layer of the foundation in a short period of time! In this case, Uncle Ye is not completely hopeless for rushing to the golden pill. ”

"Uncle Feng, we still don't dare to offend Uncle Ye. ”

The Qi Refining Stage disciples looked at each other and shook their heads one after another, and several Qi Refining Stage disciples dodged their eyes and said in a low voice.

Feng Zhongjie talked for a long time, but he still didn't dare to go back when he saw them. I can't help but get angry.

He was also very envious and jealous of Ye Chen's reward from the Immortal Gate, and he had been trying to figure it out.

How many rewards and benefits Ye Chen has received is only known to Wang Zhangmen and Ye Chen, Wang Ying, Xu Ping, Qin Tao, Kang Lijun and other five people. ..., Feng Zhongjie also went to Qin and Kang to get some details from them.

Qin Tao and Kang Lijun are not very tight-mouthed people, but they are surprisingly tight-lipped about the amount of rewards and don't say a word.

Qin and Kang are reluctant to mention it, the reason for this is actually simple, the two of them are very face-saving. Ye Chen was rewarded with 600,000 spirit stones, and they only got a mere 100,000, Ye Chen was six times higher than them, and this had to spread out to their faces.

There is nothing to prove but to prove that he is incompetent. Although they are disciples of the Immortal Sect, they are not stupid at all, and they will not do such things that damage their reputation.

Feng Zhongjie didn't hear anything about the reward from the two of them.

Feng Zhongjie didn't know this, so he was naturally very puzzled in his heart, and he became more and more suspicious and jealous of Ye Chen.

Feng Zhongjie was annoyed when he saw that these low-level disciples were timid and afraid, so he could only wave his hand and let these low-level disciples leave with the mine slaves. He was depressed in his heart, and he didn't inspect the situation on the second floor of Earth Flame Mountain, and turned around and left the second floor of Earth Flame Mountain.

Ye Chen was in retreat in the depths of a cave in Fire Raven Mountain, and he didn't know what Feng Zhongjie was doing outside. However, even if he knew, he wouldn't particularly care. In the past, when he was a disciple of the Immortal Gate Qi Refining Period, he didn't take this Feng Zhongjie to heart. Now that he is a second-generation disciple of Xianmen, his status and strength are not below Feng Zhongjie, so he is not afraid that Feng Zhongjie will come to find trouble.

Ye Chen sealed the cave with a boulder, and then used the 600,000 spirit stones he obtained to raise fire crows in large quantities in the fire crow's nest on his Xianfu Island.

Ye Chen already had experience in raising fire crows.

After a fire crow hatches from the egg, it grows from the first order to the third order, and it will eat about nine hundred to one thousand spirit stones to cultivate the spirit valley. This process is relatively smooth, and there will be no death as the fire crow grows.

But breaking through from the third order to the fourth order, this is a breakthrough leap in strength, the division of low-level demon birds and middle-level demon birds. The fire crow needs to consume the spirit valley of thousands of spirit stones to accumulate spiritual energy to complete the breakthrough.

Moreover, it needs to go through a very crucial bloody feather.

If you succeed, you will break through from a low-level demon bird to a middle-level demon bird in one fell swoop. The fire raven's body became larger and tougher, the fireballs it spat out were stronger, and its pecks and claws were sharper, comparable to low-level magic weapons.

If you fail, you will lose blood and die.

If you don't succeed, you will die, and the breakthrough of the fire crow is even more tragic than the impact of the Qi refining period cultivator on the foundation. The monk failed to attack the foundation, only lost a grain of the foundation building, and rarely died.

Ye Chen cultivated a large number of middle-rank fire crows in the Immortal Mansion, and felt pain when he saw the third-order fire crows that failed to bathe in blood and fade their feathers and died. These are a lot of spirit stones! If you die, you will lose thousands of spirit stones.

The mortality rate of fire crows is quite high, almost two out of every three deaths, and only the most tenacious fire crows survive.

While cultivating the fire crow, Ye Chen carefully calculated the spirit stones. After more than ten fire crows had completed the blood and feather loss, he came to the conclusion that he would have to consume about 10,000 spirit stones to obtain a fourth-order fire crow.

"In this way, my 600,000 spirit stones can get a full sixty fourth-order fire crows! each fourth-order fire crow is equivalent to a fire cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. My Yuan Shen cultivation can't be improved in a short period of time, but my combat power has directly skyrocketed by sixty times!"

Ye Chen swallowed in his throat, and his heart was shocked.

What kind of combat power is sixty fourth-order fire crows?

If Xu Wei, the young master of the Fire Gate, dared to bring a small team of early stage foundation building monks to provoke, as long as the number of early foundation building monks of the Fire Gate did not exceed twenty or thirty, he dared to go up directly to destroy it, and he would not even have to ask for help from the Xianmen. If his flock of fire crows was larger, even if he encountered the early Jindan monks, he might not be defeated.

However, this is a killer weapon that he has carefully prepared, and it must not be used lightly until it is critical. ()
